The Wednesday Post



See California once more
It seems impossible they know so much about the earth and sky.

NOTE: I notice that three of these cards, and a number of cards I've used recently, were originally sent to the Jones family in Chicago.  I have no idea who they were, or even how I ended up with so much of their old mail.

PIER FISHING AT PISMO BEACH, CALIFORNIA 
Jack Smelt are easily caught and are excellent eating.  Up to 21" in length and weighing 1 to 1 1/2 pounds, they may be taken with either ocean reel or bait casting rods.  Snag lines are used also and it is not too uncommon to see 6 to 8 fish pulled in at one time.

Dear Friend,

This seems to be the card nearby so I am going to send you greetings and the wish that your husband is so much better all the time.  and that you are well and can enjoy the children too.  I now have 2 great grounddaughter.  I see the Dawsons & Mrs. Hansen.  She is better.  Hope I see you both when I come to Chicago  

Love, Josephine

Nothing says I'm thinking about you and I care better than sending "the card nearby"
